I think Sega just trashed my favorite Sonic character right here. (http://c.nintendo-news.com/email_domains/nio/1266/images/np.jpg)
A motorcycle? You gotta be kidding me... what else do you think is gonna happen next? He will have to gather land mines instead of rings? *throws up*

Weird. I thought that Shadow was a double of Sonic(maybe the other way around, but still). I know for a fact that Shadow's mobility has got to be as good as, if not better, than a motorcycle. Why would he need one? The gun I would understand, but still...

Finally someone else that doesn't like this idea! Sonic should not be tainted with this sorry excuse of a spinoff.

Hmm. Until I get the proof that this game will suck i'm going to remain neutral. I may not like the idea but the game may prove to be interesting if it's pulled off correctly. However that's just my 2 cents...

Well, I was opkay with the gun, a bit skeptic, but okay, but I think a bike is blowing this way off its tracks.

It does seem a bit odd since Shadow can easily run faster than that. Perhaps the bike will be for a few segments only?

I actually approve of the bike idea 1,000,000 more than the gun idea. The gun is going to give me a feeling of either the E-Series, or some sort of weak Jak and Daxter. To me that is going to completely rape the gameplay.
I like blazing through levels at fast speeds and racing towards the finish. I don't want to run for 7 seconds, then shoot some guys to open a door, then run for 8 seconds, etc. The motorcycle at least leaves the speed factor within the game.
Besides, Shadow on a motorcycle at least has the potential to look badass where as Shadow with a gun just looks forced.
It probably will be only a few segments. My guess is that it will be similar to the motorcycles in the Megaman X series. They make appearances that are annoying, but not long enough to care.

I think the only video game character to look awesome on a bike is Cloud.

Looks like someones a FF fan...
You know, I don't think hedghogs with bikes and guns is a realy good idea to make it look 'cool'. Guns are overated and bikes are okay, Shadow+bike=WTF? Shadow+Gun=How dumb is that.

Thanks for that. Besides B98's sprite comics that's the funniest thing i've seen all day. :D Matter of fact i'm sigg'ing the first panel.

I hate VGCats...Probably because they're anti-Nintendo and pro-Xbox. Blech..

Even I hate X-Box, theese comics are hillarious. Espicly the one where Aries kills Bill Gates.

Although I'm a fan of Nintendo all the way, I don't hate the other systems...I mean, even if the public doesn't care about pure video games, it's what the public wants, and Nintendo, I think, needs to pick up the pace to stay in the competition. But who knows, Nintendo has always been there, and is the most experianced, so who knoes what will happen. Anyways, I think actually being able to use Chaos Control will be good enough. Grey Jinjo put it the best with how having to run shortly, stop, and shoot will suck. Also, being able to swim would be a plus, so falling in water won't be instant death.

Oh, what crud. I don't even care what the public wants. Neither should Nintendo. If you're a true-fan, then you would hate the other systems.

Why should I hate the other systems? THey have good games, like Square-Enix and some third-party games (Whiplash). Just because they're competition doesn't mean we have to hate them. I bet you wouldn't be talking if a BK game was on Xbox, then the evil competition would suddenly be enlightened with the next part of the series. Or you would be madder that it is not on a Nintendo machine. Cool comic.

Hey, I bought a PS2 for Metal Gear Solid, you should too.

...Ok..That comic made no sense, lol..And I still wouldn't like XBox, even if B3 would be on that. And I don't even like MGS.

Well then you're missing out. ;)

I don't like MGS either :x. I don't remember why I bought a Playstation... I bought a playstation for Megaman Legends. That was the first playstation, though, I bought PS2 just to buy it. I just buy the consoles now to have access to every game library. Limiting yourself is stupid unless you have no other option (financially, not permitted, space issues, etc).
Hakey Wake

True, although I almost bought an Xbox but...I already owned a PS2 and GCN so I could get almost all it's games for a different platform anyway.
And paying for live was never an option...as i'm broke, so I really didn't see the point.

That isn't limiting yourself though, that is reasoning against it. Limiting would be "I want Halo, but its on X-box made by Micro$oft so I won't buy one :mad:!"

Uhh..I hate Halo too.

That's to be expected, you seem to hate quite a number of things.

I'm starting to like the X-box, even though Bill Gates *Gags* made it, it has some good games, Halo, uhhh... Thats it. PS2 Rocks! FMA, .hack, Tokyo Mew Mew, the list goes on and on...

Xbox isn't my favorite system (not a huge Halo fan and other games like...um....Blinx, are okay), but that doesn't mean I hate it. Bill Gates a isn't a bad person if you look at his philanthropist side, but his competitive, monopolize computers side is a little extreme. If Xbox had more non-FPS games, I would like it more. I don't think people should judge so quickly. Sure, if had Auhin played Halo/Xbox and didn't like it, I could understand, but if he is just hating it for being against Nintendo, that would be unfair.

I don't have Sony or Microsoft's systems but I don't hate them. I probably won't get either, even if XBox has BK3. Not because I hate XBox, but because that's just one game on the XBox I'd be interested in, and buying a system for one game=pointless. I play Halo 2 multiplayer with my friends but I don't have any interest in the one-player games, and Metal-Gear doesn't quite appeal to me either. I basically have only one reason to get an XBox or XBox 360, and that's for BK3, and that one reason's not good enough. There's not that many games on PS2 that appeal to me either (I hate Grand Theft Auto!), but sometimes I really wish I had it for Kingdom Hearts. But once again, that's just one game, and you don't spend $200 or $300 on a system so you can play a single game. I don't hate PS2 either. There was a time when I was a Nintendo fanboy, putting down all the other systems (though perhaps not Sega, didn't get a Genesis 'till Dreamcast was dead but I'd had a Game Gear and loved the Sonic games), then I heard that PS2 was getting a game I really wanted: Kingdom Hearts. And now there's the possibility of XBox getting BK3. I've come to realize that when you come right down to it, its the games that matter, not the systems. So I don't hate PS2 and XBox anymore. Just no point in me getting them. As for Bill Gates, he's not really a bad person, he donates a lot of money to charity, though I do enjoy listening to jokes about his monopolizing.
